Before Sailing
1
Install the drain plugs – do not overtighten, hand tight is sufficient. Overtightening may cause the drain plug flange to distort and cause leakage.
2
Tension the rig. This can be accomplished by having your assistant hang from the trapeze or you can use mainsheet tension on one side at a time so that you can adjust the shroud position in the side stay adjusters.
3 | Fit the daggerboards into the daggerboards wells. The dag- |
| gerboard roller shock cord should be tight enough to prevent |
the daggerboard from slipping down.
4 | It is recommended that beach rollers be used |
| to move your Hobie. This will save your back |
| and the bottom of the boat. |
5 | Always wash traveller with fresh water after |
| use in salty water. |
Always wear your Hobie buoyancy vest, look out
for overhead power lines and
HAVE LOTS OF FUN!
